this is the xfinity sports desk brought to you by xfinity. your home for the most live sports. >> hey, i'm john clark from comcast sportsnet. chip kelly did not reveal houw bad sam bradford's shoulder is. sam bradford reportedly has a sprained shoulder and concussion, so he's under nfl concussion protocol. not sure he's going to play sunday. he got drilled by chris mccain right here, who beat dennis kelly. mark sanchez right there came in and threw an interception in the end zone. mark filled in for nick foles last season, so it is ten games with the eagles, he has 15 turnovers. does chip still have faith in mark sanchez?
6:24 pm
>> i feel very confident in mark sanchez. >> you have to be ready to go every week. i don't know, you never want to see a teammate go down, that's never the circumstance in which you want to play, but, you know, when you do get a chance to play, you got to make the most of it. >> birds blew a 13-point lead in the first quarter yesterday, their worst in seven years. they had trouble running the ball and finding receivers. the birds' wideouts only caught nine passes for 76 yards yesterday. riley cooper has gone three straight games without a catch. jordan matthews really is the only receiver having a good season, but chip kelly does not think the talent at the wide receiver position is the problem. >> there's a lot of things we're doing and targeting our inside receivers and tight ends just because of matchups. we knew going into this game our tight ends and inside receivers were going to be huge components, so we're trying to get the ball to those guys.
6:25 pm
we play. if we can throw for 300 plus yards by throwing to tight ends and backs, we'll continue to do that. if they take them away, we need to go to our outside receivers. >> how about this, this just in, former eagles quarterback nick foles benched in st. louis. rams coach jeff fisher is looking for more consistency on offense, so they are going with case keenum. the birds traded nick in a second round pick to the rams for sam bradford. has it worked out for either team? not sure. sixers hosting the mavericks tonight. robert covington should be back. sixers are the only winless team in the nba, 0-10. this will be their toughest test so far at the power forward position. sixers have lost 20 straight games going back to last year. i'm john clark, we're right back.
